Jurassic Shark 11,044 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 If you got the chance to talk with Mike, what would you ask him? Who knows, if he gets really bored during the pandemic, perhaps he could be convinced to come over here and answer a few of the questions, like MV does over at that site which looks like it's from the 90s.

Thor 6,721 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I would talk exclusively about completely unreleased JW scores, and if any initiative has been made to have them released -- in fact, I asked him about this during the Q&A in London two years ago, but we only got into a couple of titles. There is so much more. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 11,044 Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 I'd ask him to elaborate on what sounds like an editing glitch at the beginning of the original recording of the Superman theme (concert version), and if he's got time, about the meaning of life.

Corellian2019 363 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I was fortunate enough to meet Mike last year and ask him my most pressing questions, but if I had the chance again, I would suggest some titles for the Universal Heritage program and ask him how feasible it would be to release them under that banner (in particular, Vangelis' unreleased score for Missing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 13,863 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I'm sure if there was a non-streaming, 5.1 music medium as popular as stereo CDs, LLL would use it. It's good that Mike is starting to future proof his expansions so they can be re-released in 5.1 down the line. It would be great to know all the scores he actually mastered in surround sound. He's always going to be at the mercy of the elements though; I think TLW had to be assembled from stereo elements because the multi-tracks were shedding.

Jay 34,965 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I don't believe the labels have the rights to release anything other than a redbook audio CD. If they were allowed to release a 5.1 release, I doubt the investment it would take to make that happen would ever be recouped by sales, even a big title like Harry Potter.
